That was how it has "always" worked before. But now systemd ignores TMPTIME, and alsoseems to ignore it's own "age" option, unless I'm not using it right.



-------- Original Message --------

On a testing/sid system with sysvinit-core, the script
/etc/init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh (linked to /etc/rcS.d/) calls clean_tmp via
clean_all from /lib/init/bootclean.sh . In this function it says
   "Don't clean remaining files if TMPTIME is negative or 'infinite'"

Therefore, to never cleanup set

TMPTIME='infinite'

What is your exact setting in /etc/default/rcS ?

Regards,
jvp.
